You can use Skype for web SDK to display presence of user on a web application (including SharePoint website). Keep in mind SDK is still in public preview. You can subscribe to user presence as follows:

  sub = person1.status.subscribe();
  person1.status.changed(onPresenceChanged);
  function onPresenceChanged(presence) {
      console.log("the contact is " + presence.availability);
  }

Refer to this link for documentation. To get the self presence use status property of MePerson object. Refer to this link for more details.

You can download the samples of SDK can be from here

But this will require a separate Azure app and a separate user authentication?... – Andrey Markeev Apr 24 '17 at 19:53
